DIE ABTEILUNG FUER LAUF-UND SCHWINGUNGSTECHNIK IN DER BUNDESBAHN-VERSUCHSANSTALT MINDEN (WESTF.). 1. GESCHICHTLICHER WERDEGANG, ARBEITSGEBIETE UND GLIEDERUNG
After some general remarks on the problems in connection with the riding qualities and vibration properties of railway vehicles, the present state of research in this field is outlined briefly. The department for riding qualities and vibration engineering of the research institute, which is engaged in research work in this field at Deutsche Bundesbahn, has originated from the research centres for locomotives and wagons of the former RAW in Berlin-Grunewald. As compared to the original tasks of these research centres, the present fields of activities of the department are considerably more diversified and mainly focussed on the solution of the problems arising in connection with the proposed higher train speeds. In conclusion, the setup of the department is described, referring also to the special requirements regarding the technical qualifications and character of the employees.
